Longhirst


Longhirst Village in Northumberland is located 3 miles north east of Morpeth. From the 19th century up to the mid 20th century the village of Longhirst was dominated by the Lawson and Joicey families. The discovery of coal in the area brought wealth to the Lawson family who held the manorial rights; they built Longhirst Hall, designed John Dobson and completed 1824.
